Cap-Vert Peninsula
The westernmost tip of the African continent, with the city of Dakar jutting out into the Atlantic.
Saloum Delta
A beautiful network of salt flats, mangroves, and lagoons where the Saloum River meets the ocean.
Bijagós Archipelago
A breathtaking view of over 80 islands and islets off Guinea-Bissau, known for their biodiversity and turquoise waters.
Guinean Mangroves
The intricate, bright green coastal forests that define the shoreline of Guinea-Bissau and Guinea.
Conakry Peninsula
The final approach provides a clear view of Conakry densely packed onto the Kaloum Peninsula.
The right side is the undisputed winner for coastal views. For the best photography of the Bijagós islands, mid-morning to early afternoon flights provide the highest sun position to cut through water glare. Always choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the coastal views during the descent into Conakry.

Desert Transition
Watch the stark golden sands of Mauritania gradually blend into the scrubby brushwood of the Sahel region.
Senegal River
The winding blue ribbon of the Senegal River marking the international border near the historic city of Saint-Louis.
The Gambia River
A massive, winding waterway that defines the geography of The Gambia, visible as it snakes inland.
Fouta Djallon Foothills
The first glimpses of the lush, mountainous plateau of Guinea as the aircraft moves toward the interior.
Choose this side on morning flights to see the sunrise illuminate the desert. It is the better side for viewing the agricultural heartlands of the Sahel and the deep inland river systems. Keep an eye out for the green patches of the Casamance region in southern Senegal.
